Hi George,
The program is written in VB5, so you should not need VS at all.
It was designed for Windows 95. I have not tried it on Vista or Win7, so that may be the problem (can you install on a VM or as XP?).
the install script ireads:
Source: "d:\My Documents\VB5 projects\Logger\Vernier.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\MSVBVM50.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: onlyifdoesntexist uninsneveruninstall
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\OleAut32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: onlyifdoesntexist sharedfile regserver
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\OlePro32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\AsycFilt.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
;Source: "e:\VB\System Files\Ctl3d32.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\StdOle2.tlb"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\MSCOMM32.OCX"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\SCRRUN.DLL"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile
Source: "e:\VB\System Files\comcat v471\Comcat.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}"; Flags: sharedfile regserver
so there are only 4 files that require regserver.
4 years? I started this in 2005! that's the problem!4 years later and there are people still interested in your work.
There are new scales out now that do not work with the PIC code (so be warned) At some point (way in the future), when I get one of the newer 21 bit devices I'll add it to the PIC.
Meanwhile, I get people like aadityadengle waving bs flags at me, because they cant get it working!
Is does work with the right scales:
